Next Chapter

"It's strange, how come there isn't even a star in the sky for this big fifteen? This does not bode well. Mama Cai closed the window and muttered, I don't know what's going on today, I always feel panicked, it seems that something big has happened, and I shook my head unconsciously, hey, what big thing can happen? At present, only Concubine Xiao's delivery date has arrived, and it is also a happy event if there is something.

Forcibly suppressed the indescribable irritability in his heart, repeatedly told Cai'er and Feng'er several times, paid attention to Concubine Xiao's body at night, was vigilant, and was careful in everything, so he went back to sleep, but he didn't dare to sleep too hard.

August 15 was supposed to be a day of reunion, but pitifully, Concubine Xiao took her body with her, but she wanted to raise a baby in this Zhuangzi. If you want to blame, you can only blame her half-sister for being too vicious.

Seeing that Concubine Xiao's round belly is about to ripen, Mama Cai is also happy for Concubine Xiao, even if she doesn't have the favor of the prince, she has a child, she can be regarded as having a dependence.

"Cai'er, I see that you are too tired these days, I will sleep inside today, you can sleep outside." Feng'er pointed to Cai'er's dark circles and said.

Feng'er and Cai'er are both first-class girls next to Concubine Xiao, Feng'er can speak well and is a pleasing person, but Cai'er is a stuffy gourd, but her hands and feet are very sharp. Feng'er is the girl who grew up in the palace, but Cai'er is the dowry girl of Concubine Xiao.

may be because of the love that grew up together, Concubine Xiao and Cai'er are more intimate. Usually Cai'er is accompanied in the room. However, these few days are due dates, and Concubine Xiao has no experience, and she is also panicked. It is said that women give birth to children from the ghost gate once, and if they are favored by the ghosts, there will be no way to live. Hiding her thoughts, where can Concubine Xiao sleep well, she will be affected if she doesn't pick it.

"Feng'er, you are not easier than me these days, or I should guard it." Cai'er silently thought about Feng'er's goodness in her heart.

"No, you have to sleep well tonight, or your body will not be able to bear it." Feng'er said that it was sincere, Cai'er was not easy to refuse, and Cai'er was really tired, so she fell asleep on the pillow.

If you ignore the sneer that flashed at the corner of Feng'er's mouth, maybe it was really a drama of sisterhood.

"Boom—" A thunderclap streaked across the sky, waking up countless people's dreams.

After the thunder, it began to rain heavily.

Concubine Xiao, who finally fell asleep, was also woken up by this sudden thunder.

"Ahh

"Concubine Xiao, what's wrong with you?" Feng'er exclaimed, and Cai'er outside also heard the scream, and she didn't have time to get dressed, so she only wore her underwear and ran in with her hair messy.

"Concubine Niangniang, where do you feel uncomfortable? You wait, I'll go and call a doctor for you right away. The anxious look on Cai'er's face can't deceive people.

"Yes, yes, Concubine Niangniang, Cai'er will call the doctor, Feng'er will accompany you." Feng'er squeezed and held Concubine Xiao's hand, Concubine Xiao's hand was cold, like snowflakes in the cold winter moon.

"I, I, I'm going to give birth to ......" Concubine Xiao said a complete sentence with difficulty, and her voice was astringent.

"Then I'll call the midwife." Cai'er didn't wait for Concubine Xiao to agree, so she ran away in a hurry.

"Concubine Xiao, what do you want, I'll get it for you." Knowing that Concubine Xiao couldn't answer her, she still didn't say a word to cause a topic, if Mama Cai was there, she would definitely be able to see that Feng'er's body was trembling slightly.

"Concubine Niangniang, do you want to drink water?" Feng'er went to the table and poured a glass of water, regardless of whether the water temperature was suitable or not, and sent it to Concubine Xiao's mouth.

Concubine Xiao leaned up and took a sip of water, the cold feeling went down her throat and into her abdomen, and instantly her stomach began to ache violently, and her face began to be covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Concubine Xiao's face gradually changed, Feng'er's heart became more and more panicked, and she said silently in her heart, Niangniang, I'm sorry, I don't want to betray either, it's just that my mother's illness can't be delayed any longer.

"Niangniang, you hold on a little longer, I'll call the doctor." Feng'er turned to leave, and after turning around, Feng'er's eyes were full of struggle and unbearability.

Concubine Xiao wanted to call Feng'er, but the abdominal pain was unbearable, and she couldn't even say a word. She felt panicked in her heart, instinctively wanted to grab something, Feng'er's slowly withdrawn hand made her lose the last fulcrum, and she couldn't even grasp the last life-saving straw.

The silence of the room, only the faint breath of Concubine Xiao, and even the sound of rain hitting lotus leaves outside the window, can be heard clearly.

Just when Concubine Xiao was dying in pain and was about to faint, she heard dense footsteps, is she saved? Concubine Xiao instinctively protected one hand on her stomach, thinking to herself, baby, if you can be born safely, then even if I suffer a lot of pain, I will admit it.

"Concubine Xiao, Concubine Xiao—" A voice came, but it was not a familiar voice. Isn't this Mama Rong next to my sister? How did you come here? Could it be that she is going to harm her own child? My sister is pregnant at about the same time as herself, and the due date is almost the same, is it possible that my sister gave birth to a daughter, so I can't allow myself to leave this child?

Instinctively wanted to run away, but her bulky body didn't even give her the strength to do it, no, her own child, no, she must not let the child be hurt.

Concubine Xiao struggled to get up, but this was obviously an impossible thing.

"Cai-cai-er-" Cai'er, who hoped to call the midwife, had returned.

The heavy rain outside was dense, and after going out, she couldn't even open her eyes, and Cai'er fell into the rain at this time, and she couldn't even tell the direction, and she was even more anxious.

"Concubine Xiao, the princess cares about her sisterhood, and has already arranged for the midwife to live in Zhuangzi in case of emergency, it seems that the princess is really like a god." Mama Rong had already arrived at the bedside, reached out and pressed Concubine Xiao's body down, and thoughtfully tucked the quilt for her.

Concubine Xiao waited for Mama Rong with straight eyes, if her eyes could kill, it was estimated that Mama Rong would not even have any bones left.

"Concubine Xiao, don't worry, the midwife will definitely help you give birth to the child safely, your body is noble, but it is not comparable to us slaves, don't struggle, in case you have fetal gas again, what should I do."

The heavy rain also woke up the sleeping Mama Cai.

"I said why are you so uneasy today, it turns out that it's going to rain, no, I have to go and see the side concubine, this thunder is so loud, don't move the tire anymore."
